A few people have asked how I make these animations. The answer is it's just code and a screen recording. I’ll make little jigs like this interactive timeline to dial things in, but for me I find this is still the fastest way to create and refine exactly what I want.

When it's hard for you and you're tired of the war, just look at one moment in the life of Ukrainian combat medic Anastasia Mutsey. And how is your Sunday?

How do you like it ? Woke up this morning and decided to prep a thick one for when I get home this afternoon. It's about .2g with a little less than \~2 units of water. #drugtwt #meth #drugtwt

I got eye tracking working with the look at shader. It's all on one material and obviously it's not perfect but it's a good start. You can make it so it only does this in the camera to make sure you're always looking at the camera for photos.

Ybou The skin image is just the "streamed preview" shown when you select a skin in your locker, and I place it on a locker background in Photoshop to make it look better Makes sense to do it like this cuz it's *exactly* how it will look in the actual game

Just a reminder at how cool immersion cooling can look like. This past week at Computex I've had a couple of conversations about it, if it's good or relevant. The short answer is that even with the PFAS removed, and it being on display for 10+ years, no-one wants to buy it.
